This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
In countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, "Sukuma wiki" is more than just food; it is a part of the cultural fabric. It is often associated with resilience and sustenance in tough times, embodying the spirit of making ends meet whatever the circumstances. This dish is traditionally served with "ugali," a staple cornmeal starch, and is a common accompaniment to meals in both rural and urban settings.
